Summary
The global low-carbon hydrogen market is forecast to expand from $28.8 billion in 2025 to $129.8 billion by 2035, reflecting a 16.2% compound annual growth rate.
Green hydrogen led the market with a 56.2% share in 2025, while chemicals and petrochemicals accounted for 42.3%, underscoring demand from industries replacing higher-emission feedstocks.
North America held 45.4% of the market, or $13.09 billion, supported by refining and chemicals demand, existing gas and carbon-storage infrastructure, and U.S. tax credits of up to $3 per kilogram.
Policy support is accelerating buildout: the European Commission in May 2026 pledged EUR 1.09 billion for nine projects, and the IEA says more than 200 low-emissions hydrogen projects have reached final investment decisions globally.
Costs and weak demand still threaten the outlook, with the IEA reporting 2025 investment decisions below 0.8 Mtpa and a 10-million-tonne shrinkage in the 2030 project pipeline.
